Vanity Fair Fox Hunting Chromolithograph, Quorn Hunt at Kirby Gate, 1901

Description:
A lively and richly detailed Vanity Fair chromolithograph titled Fox Hunting – Quorn Hunt, published as a Supplement to Vanity Fair in November 1901 and drawn by the celebrated sporting artist Cuthbert Bradley. This large-format composition captures the celebrated Quorn Hunt assembled at Kirby Gate, presenting an animated panorama of Edwardian hunting society at the height of its cultural prestige.

Bradley was widely admired for his ability to combine accurate equestrian observation with social narrative, and this print exemplifies his distinctive approach. Rather than isolating a single rider, the artist arranges a sweeping ensemble of mounted figures, huntsmen, aristocrats, and spectators across a pastoral landscape, creating both a documentary record and a dynamic social portrait. The scene includes notable participants such as Captain Hartopp MFH, huntsmen Tom Firr and Walter Kyte, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Lonsdale, Princess Henry of Pless, and numerous other prominent figures identified in the printed key
